An evaluation of skin grafts for reconstruction of the penis and scrotum.

Skin grafting remains a primary modality for reconstruction of genitourinary defects. Many of these conditions are discussed and emphasis has been placed on the different indications for full-thickness, split-thickness, and dermal grafts. Complications have been few, and long-term results excellent. This experience has allowed the formulation of a number of surgical principles, which are presented. Refinements in reconstruction are currently being evaluated to obtain the optimal result.
